O the pangs his soul sustained! Shun not suffering, shame, or loss; learn from him to bear the cross. 3 Calvary’s mournful mountain climb; there, adoring at his feet, mark that miracle of time, God’s own sacrifice complete; “It is finished!” hear him cry; learn from Jesus Christ to die. 4 Early hasten to the tomb where they laid his breathless clay: all is solitude and gloom. Who has taken him away? Christ is risen! He meets our eyes. Savior, teach us so to rise.

Where cross the crowded ways of life

Author: Frank Mason North, 1850-1935 Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 372 hymnals Scripture: Hebrews 4:14-16 Lyrics: 1 Where cross the crowded ways of life, where sound the cries of race and clan, above the noise of selfish strife we hear your voice, O Son of Man. 2 In haunts of wretchedness and need, on shadowed thresholds dark with fears, from paths where hide the lures of greed we catch the vision of your tears. 3 From tender childhood's helplessness, from human grief and burdened toil, from famished souls, from sorrow's stress, your heart has never known recoil. 4 The cup of water given for you still holds the freshness of your grace; yet long these multitudes to see the sweet compassion of your face. 5 O Master, from the mountain side make haste to heal these hearts of pain; among these restless throngs abide, and tread the city's streets again: 6 till all the world shall learn your love and follow where your feet have trod, till glorious from your heaven above shall come the city of our God.

Stoop to my weakness, mighty as you are, and make me love you as I ought to love. 2 I ask no dream, no prophet ecstasies, no sudden rending of the veil of clay, no angel visitant, no opening skies, but take the dimness of my soul away. 3 Did you not bid us love you, God and King, love you with all our heart and strength and mind? I see your cross--there teach my heart to cling. O let me seek you and O let me find! 4 Teach me to feel that you are always nigh; teach me the struggles of the soul to bear, to check the rising doubt, the rebel sigh; teach me the patience of unanswered prayer. 5 Teach me to love you as your angels love, one holy passion filling all my frame: the baptism of the heaven-descended Dove, my heart an altar, and your love the flame.
